The Records Edinboro is coming off an impressive 35-13 showing over the University of Buf­ falo while Northwood fell to Ferris State last Saturday to stand at 0-1. The Scots won 7 of 11 games last season while the Northmen went 2-6. The Scots are tough at home posting 20 victories against just two losses and a tie under coach Tom Hollman. In addi­ tion to their 20 wins, Edinboro has fallen to Liberty (17-7 in ’88) and lUP (20-17 in '91) while tying Slippery Rock 14-14 ('88). The Series The Fighting Scots downed the Northmen in Michigan last year and hold a 1-0 series edge. Edinboro posted the 2514 win on a rain-soaked field as AllAmerican linebacker Jason Perkins' fourth quarter fumble recovery set up a Steve Clare one-yard touchdown run to clinch the win. The Coaches Hollman, in his fifth-year directing the Boro program, boasts a 30-14-1 (.674%) slate. His winning percentage at home of .888 makes Edinboro extremely tough at Sox Harrison. The Scots are 18-51 in the rugged PSAC Western Division during Hollman's tenure and have earned two trips to the NCAA II playoffs. His nine-year collegiate coaching mark stands at 54-25-2. Northwood is led by sixth-year coach Tom Danna. He has earned 15 wins in 48 decisions counting the loss against Ferris State last weekend. The Offenses The Scots' Larry Jackson came off the bench to rush for 207 yards and earn PSAC West Co-Player of the Week honors against Buffalo. The sophomore tailback scored three times on rims of 30 yards, 16 and 8 to lead the win. Starter Derrick Russell (6 carries, 19 yds.) was slightly 2 Inside the Numbers (1-game Totals) Edinboro Northwood Scoring Total Offense Rushing Offense Passing Offense 35.0 PPG 366.0 YPG 133.0 YPG 499.0 YPG 13.0 PPG 187.0 YPG 131.0 YPG 56.0 YPG Scoring Defense Total Defense Rushing Defense Passing Defense 13.0 PPG 127.0 YPG 65.0 YPG 62.0 YPG 33.0 PPG 427.0 YPG 206.0 YPG 221.0 YPG injured but should see action this week. Fullback Tom Tedder (4-11) did a great job blocking and will start his 25th straight game for the Scots. Quarterback Jody Dickerson will once again call the shots. He connected on ll-of-21 passes last week for 121 yards and rushed 11 times for 45 more. Sean Seibert (2-3 passing) also saw time against the Bulls. Wrentie Martin (5 catch­ es, 72 yds.), Paul Stone (2-18) and Brian Heebsh (1-13) remain key targets for the Scots. Up front, tackles Mike Kegarise and Tony Tighe, guards Chadd Wallick and Scott Nickel and center Gordy Hitchcock cleared the way for nearly 500 yards of offense last week. Northwood's offense sputtered last week but gave the Boro all they could handle last year in Michigan. (Quarter­ back Jim Kurlinski (5-16, 56 yds.) will be over center looking for veteran wideout James Cooks. A pair of fullbacks, James Causey (10-47) and John Houvenor (1033) turned in strong efforts against Ferris State. Academic All-American guard Chip Lott is the Northmen's best up front. The Defenses Edinboro's success against Universi­ ty of Buffalo was due to their ability to get to the quarterback. The Scots recorded three sacks and eight tackles for loss in the win. All-American linebacker Jason Perkins led the team with nine stops while DE Devas Simmons recorded four tackles and forced a Buffalo fumble in the end zone where he recovered for the Scots' third score. Freshman linebacker Michael Sims turned in an outstanding effort in his collegiate debut, recording four stops and deflecting four passes. Joining Simmons up front will be 3 tackles Russell Cray and Rob Harmer and end Anthony Ross (4 stops, 2 for loss and 1 sack) while Mike Edwards (5) joins Sims and Perkins at linebacker. The secondary features All-American Georj Lewis and Mario Houston (4) at the corners while veteran Mike Barnes and freshman Rick Walker team up at safety. Northwood's strength is the defense, one which ranked third in scoring defense and ninth overall last season in the NAIA. Linebackers Johnel Davis and David Sanders are both pre-season AllAmericans and each had eleven tackles in the setback last Saturday. Defensive end James Whitlow is a four-year starter on the interior while back Anthony Miles led the team with a dozen stops and one break up against Ferris. Special Teams/Kicking Game Edinboro starts a familiar twosome in place-kicker Scott Rupert (5-5 PAT's, 02 FG) and punter Gary Lhotsky (33.8 YPP, long 38) while Northwood counters with a pair of four-year players in PK Scott Rinn (1-1 PAT, 1-1 FG, long 33) and punter Chris Keeton (38.3, long 46) One of the bright spots for the North­ men last week was the kick off return efforts of James Cooks (6-142-23.7 YPR) and runningback Henry Russell (2-57). The Scots feature Jackson but Buffalo did not kick the ball his way last week. Paul Stone (2-33) and Derrick Russell (1-14) are the 'up men' on the return squad. Next Game Edinboro is on the road as they travel north to battle Southern Connecticut. The Scots have an off week on September 26, then open PSAC West play hosting Clari­ on University on October 3.

Alumni Association 6 Foster F. Diebold Now in his thirteenth year as president of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, Foster F. Diebold is the fourteenth chief executive officer of the institution of higher learning that has come to acclaim in the last decade as one of Pennsylvania's and the nation’s finest. He has brought a vigorous educational and moral lead­ ership, a strengthening of the spirit of community, a clear sense of direction and purpose, and a dimension of multicultural pluralism and diversity. Much has been accomplished during President Diebold's tenure. The University has returned to finan­ cial health. Significant facilities and grounds improvements have been achieved, with several of the historic structures on campus restored to their original splendor. Academic programs have been emphasized and improved, with more than 100 degree offerings now available. Enrollment gains have been unprecedented in both numbers and academic quality. International linkages have been established with institutions in sever­ al other countries, and Edinboro Uni­ versity's disabled student services program continues to gamer acclaim as one of the finest among all colleges and universities in the United States.

Bruce Baumgartner Day - September 12 Edinhoro Honors Bruce Baumgartner Tonight Banquet Set for 7:30 p.m., Van Houten Dining Hall Athletic Director James K. McDonald Edinboro University's athletic program was placed under the talented and aggressive leadership of Jim McDonald in July of 1981. Increased emphasis on fund raising to provide a sound scholarship foundation has become his top priority while numerous changes and innovations have also keyed the Scots' athletic program under his direction. Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and the Edinboro community have announced plans for "Bruce Baumgartner Day," in honor of the 1992 Olympic gold medalist. Baumgartner became the first American wrestler ever to medal in three Olympics (gold in 1984, silver 1988) with his 8-0 gold medal performance over Canada's Jeff Thue on August 6. A banquet in Baumgartner's honor will cap the day's activities, with ceremonies set for tonight in the University's Van Houten Dining Hall. Tickets are $20.00 per person and may be obtained at the door. Checks can be made payable to the Edinboro University Booster Club. Reserved tables with seating for eight, six and four are available for purchase and are recommend­ ed for business, organizations and other large groups. All proceeds wiU benefit a scholarship named for Bruce Baumgartner. The banquet is expected to feature a video honoring the Olympic champion, as well as numerous gifts from elected officials and other dignitaries. Through his efforts more than $4 million has been raised during the past eleven years. The funds generated by the energetic athletic director's efforts will be used to assist Edinboro's men and women athletes who compete in the Scots sixteen intercollegiate sports. In addition to maintaining Edinboro's respected winning tradition in intercollegiate athletics, the former health and physical education professor has vastly expanded the University's summer activities. Sixty camps were sponsored by the Fighting Scots Booster Club this past summer on the University's campus. Sox Harrison Stadium was the site for the Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers first scrimmage, an event the veteran ath­ letic director hopes to bring back to the area each year. The personable athletic director also introduced Edinboro's Hall of Fame program which has evolved into an annual year-ending event to honor present and past athletes. Photo by Lowry Photography Bruce Baumgartner Edinboro University Head Wrestling Coach ' McDonald has been at Edinboro since 1962 and for 12 years served as the Fighting Scot basketball coach (1962-1975) and never experienced a losing season while his teams compiled an impressive 181 wins against only 89 losses. During that span, his cagers won four Western Division Pennsylvania Confer­ ence crowns, the PC state championship and two District 18 titles that netted trips to the NAIA National Tournament. His teams set 27 University records and made 19 post-season appearances while four of his players were named All-Americans. Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro, McDonald served as assis­ tant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport High School in his home town of Bridgeport, West Virginia. 1992 Olympic Gold Medalist 1988 Olympic Silver Medalist ' 1984 Olympic Gold Medalist In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry and physical education from West Virginia Wesleyan College and he also holds a master's degree in health from the University of Buffalo.

In 1960, he was the sec­ ond leading scorer in the United States, averaging slightly over 33 points a game, and led his team to the national basketball tournament in Kansas City, Missouri. He was named to the NAIA's All-Tournament Team in 1959 and 1960. Defeated his 1992 Olympic opponents by a combined score of 35-1 with an 11-second pin of one wrestler. Regarded as the greatest heavyweight wrestler that the United States has ever produced. Has not lost to an American wrestler in over 12 years. 8 In 1966, McDonald was selected Area Eight Coach of the Year by the eastern seaboard coaches and that same year was honored as one of the top ten finalists in the Coach of the Year national poll.

He and his wife, Mary Lou, have three sons - Mark, Mike and Matthew. 9 The funds generated by the energetic athletic director's efforts wili be used to assist Edinboro's men and women athletes. Scots Look to Rebound; Eye Trip to the NCAA IIs It's hard to say that a 7-4 season was disappointing. But when expectations were to advance to the NCAA II playoffs for the third consecutive year, the 1991 won-lost mark was not what the Scots had envisioned. Anticipating that the 1992 pre-season polls will have Edinboro back in the national picture. Football Gazette will rank the Scots number eight. It appears the pressure will be on once again. Expecta­ tions yes, but the Fighting Scots' recent success has created them. The Hollman Era of 1988-92 has Edinboro posting a 29-14-1 slate, includ­ ing 18 of 24 wins in the rugged Pennsyl­ vania State Athletic Conference Western Division. Two trips to the national play­ offs, co-championship of the PSAC, forty school records, two Division II Player of the Year finalists and 17 All-Americans are among the accomplishments. All in the last four years. Tom Hollman begins his fifth season with the Scots and boasts a 53-25-2 record in eight years on the Division II level. His winning percentage of .663 is among the nation's best in small-college football. Edinboro returns 33 lettermen and 17 starters (including specialties) in 1992 and should once again battle for the PSAC West title. Home encounters include the University of Buffalo and Northwood (MI), as well as PSAC western division rivals Clarion (Homecoming), Slippery Rock and Shippensburg. The Scots travel to Southern Con­ necticut, Lock Haven, California, lUP and Millersville with hopes of extending their season beyond November 14. In 1991, Edinboro played five of their first seven games on the road, and ulti­ mately it cost them a trip to the national playoffs. This season shows more of a balance, with the Plaid hosting three of the first four games at Sox Harrison Sta­ dium. With a 19-2-1 home record under Hollman, look for the Scots to come out of the blocks quickly in '92. Seven ways to melt your appetite.

A LOOK AT THE SCOTS 290 Plum Street Edinboro, PA Phone 734-4600 HOURS Sunday thru Thursday 6:00 a.m. - Midnight Friday & Saturday OPEN 24 HOURS Skill Positions * Seibert can still lay claim to Edinboro's lone NCAA II playoff win when he engi­ neered a convincing 38-14 margin at Vir­ ginia Union in 1990. A veteran crew of receivers returns, led by Wrentie Martin (39-607-3 TDs), Paul Stone (9-117) and tight end Brian Heebsh (13-162-2 TDs). Martin and Heebsh were PSAC West second team selec­ tions in '91 and all three bring a wealth of game experience to the offense. The running back position is solid with Derrick Russell (68-403-3 TDs), Larry Jackson (29-188-2 TDs), Corey Hill and Vidal Farr. Someone will have to cariy the bulk with the departure of AllAmerican Lester Frye. Three-year starter Tom Tedder (41-173-1 TD) returns at full­ back and could be the PSAC West's best at this spot. Tedder will get plenty of backup support from sophomore Chris Snyder. Offensive Line With the graduation of All-American Curtis Rose and All-PSAC pick Wally Spisak, the Scots must fill two rather large pairs of shoes. PSAC West second team choice Mike Kegarise has pro potential with his 6-7, 300 pound frame. Starters Scott Nickel, Tony Tighe and Gordy Hitchcock also return, as will Chad Wallick, Det Betti and Dave Nowacki. Quality depth is key, so Hollman will most likely call on a pair of top recruits to help anchor the offensive front. Defensive Line Gone is All-American tackle John Messura, so the interior will highlight some new faces. Experience does return in Otha Davidson (22 tackles) and Russell Cray (42) while LB Devas Simmons (36) is likely to convert to a down lineman spot. End Anthony Mariani (48 tackles, 8 for loss) also returns and had a solid '91 in his initial year. Messura's spot must be filled if the Scots are to improve on their 150-yard per game rushing yield of last year. Linebackers ’•eady to step cpnf ■ connected on 5c passes last year, covering a_ scores, while rushir er 240 yards and three touchdt All-American and All-PSAC West choice Jason Perkins (135 tackles) returns to solidify a very good corps of lineback­ ers. Perkins was sensational in'91, picking off two passes, recording nine tackles for 11 losses and adding four sacks to his team high tackle mark. Perkins has been cho­ sen as a 1992 pre-season first team AllAmerican by the Sporting News. Returning sophomore Steve Russell will give help after recording 41 tackles in '91 and tying Perkins for the team lead in interceptions with two. Veteran Steve Nagy and newcomer Mike Edwards both looked good in spring workouts and will make heavy contributions. Simmons can play both the down position and linebacker and should be an impact player in 1992. Secondary With the return of All-American Georj Lewis and PSAC West second team pick Mike Barnes, the Scots' defensive backfield returns plenty of experience. 1990 PSAC West Rookie of the Year Mario Houston will be at the other corner spot. Houston was in on 75 stops last year and led the team with 12 pass deflections. Lewis was a third team choice by Football Gazette last year and has started 34 consecutive games at the corner. His 50 tackles also earned him a first-team spot on the PSAC West All-Star squad. Barnes, a free safety/linebacker with outstanding speed and toughness, was third on the squad in '91 with 83 tackles. Only linebackers Perkins and Joel Marratta (88) were in on more tackles than Barnes. Backup quarterback Sean Seibert has the inside track at the vacant free safety spot, vacated by four-year starter Wade Smith. Mike White and a host of top cal­ iber freshmen give Edinboro a great sec­ ondary in 1992. Specialties A pair of starters return in punter Gary Lhotsky and place-kicker Scott Rupert. Lhotsky earned second team PSAC West honors a year ago with his 38.1 yards per punt. His average was sec­ ond best in the division and fifth overall in the state. Lhotsky has averaged just under 37 ypp over his two-year career. Rupert, just a sophomore, had a solid ft^shman year in '91, finishing second on the team with 36 points. He was true on 5-of-7 field goal tries and converted 21 extra point attempts. A great all-around athlete, Rupert led the Scot baseball team last spring with a .398 batting average.

"Edinboro has been a great experience, and I like the direction of the pro­ gram," Hollman said. "As a coach, I have been fortunate to coach at many different levels, from high school to Division I. The Division II level here at Edinboro is very appeal­ ing to me in relation to my career goals. It is a great feeling to be a head coach at this level." Tom Hollman Hollman's educational background begins with a high school diploma from Memorial High School in St. Mary's, Ohio, followed by his undergraduate degree in education from Ohio Northern University in 1968. Three'years later Hollman received his master of science degree in location from Xavier Uni­ versity in Cincinnati, Ohio.

No better examples than the accomplishments of senior quarterback/free safety Sean Seibert and All-American defensive back Georj Lewis. Seibert will earn a political science degree this December in just seven semesters of attending Edinboro Univer­ sity. His 3.0+ cumulative grade point average and contributions to the Scot football program make Sean a true schol­ ar-athlete. He has been recognized the past three years for his outstanding accomplishments by the University. Lewis, who last year earned AllAmerican honors at defensive back, has found the academic and athletic balance to complete his business administration degree in four years. His 3.0+ cumulative grade point is outstanding, considering he has started every game since his fresh­ man year, a string of 34 consecutive, entering the 1992 season.

Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Media Award. He left his position in the sports depart­ ment in May after nearly 11 years to accept a position as an executive producer with the Post-Gazette Radio Network. The award is given by the sports information directors of the PSAC to a media member who has supported and promoted conference athletics. Zapadka is the second Pittsburgh media person to receive the award. Ray KienzI, sportswriter for the Pittsburgh Press, was the first recipient of the award in 1989. Ross Navel of the Lock Haven Express and former sports information director at Lock Haven University, was the 1990 honoree and Skip Mutter of the Patriot News in Harrisburg was the award winner last year. Zapadka is being recognized for his dedication to excellence in sports reporting and for the many contributions he has made to the PSAC over the years. He is known for his honesty, integrity, diligence and hard work. In addition to his outstanding efforts to get coverage in the paper for PSAC Pete Zapadka athletes from the greater Pittsburgh area, Zapadka has been a valuable friend and confidant to the sports information directors throughout the PSAC, not only those in the Western Division. Through his job on the sports staff, he would regularly fight for listings including standings, schedules, results, etc. of PSAC schools in the Post-Gazette. He also was actively involved in the sports department of the P-G zone editions and used informa­ tion on all sports, not only the traditional sports of major media interest. A strong booster of coverage for all NCAA Division II and III schools plus NAIA institutions, Zapadka was an initial supporter of the idea of PSAC press conferences for football and basketball when those events were in the formative stages. In addition to sports, Zapadka’s hobby is astronomy and he has written feature articles for the Post-Gazette’s Science page on that topic. He is the membership secretary for the Amateur Astronomy Asso­ ciation of Pittsburgh. A native of Ellwood City, Pa. he earned a Journalism degree from Point Park College in Pittsburgh in 1975, and went to work full-time at the Post-Gazette in January of 1976. He moved to the sports department in August, 1981. Zapadka and his wife, Lynne, live in Pittsburgh with their two daughters, Allison, 7, and Jessica, 3V2. Lynne works as an account representative in retail advertising for the Pittsburgh Press. What makes the 14 universities in the State System so great? Education leading to opportunities.
